JUDGE COOLEY EXPLAINS.
ne Suspension Special Case-Tempo.
rary Relief was Absolutely Necessary to
the Southern Roads.
CHICAGO. ADril IA

CHIcAEo, April l3.
Judge T. NJ. Cooley. preside of the inter.
o'ate commerce commission, is in Chicago
'ouay. In conversation with a representa-.
1--WE OF a local paper. regarding the recent
action OF the commission in suspendinp the
operation of the long and short haul sec,ion
OF the new law for the roads Of the Southern
RAILWAY and Steamship association, which
mas called forth SO much unfavorsble notice
Judge Cooley said that the commissioners.
after thoroughly discussing the arguments
presented by various roads, came to the con.
ciuslon that justice required that they should
move slowly On question Of such great i'm
portance, and that they should not take action
mat would be definite and final in its effect
"lthout nrst making themselves fully ac-
quainted with the situation. This was
deemed particularly important, because the
law went into effect so soon after the appoint
ment OF the commission, and the railroads
had hardly time to adopt their tariffs and
rules to accord with the provisions.
The commission, ne sald, did not recognize
the Southern Railway and Steamship associa-
ton, as bad been claimed but based its ac.
ton upon individual arguments oy represen-
tatlves of various roads in that association.
cially the Louisville and Nashville, East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and other
leading Southern roads.
The claim that the commission erred in
extending the order to all the Southern roads
south of the OHIO river and east of the Mis-
slssippi river he dldmot think held good, as
not only competition by steamship lines had
to be taken into consideration but also the
competition by the Mississippi and sother
Southern navigable rivers. He did not think
any Injustice was done to the roads this side
of the Ohio river by granting temporary re-
lief to the Southern road. To change the
rates to conform with the new law by roads
in the North was but trifling az compared
with changes by roads in the South, and the
decision that they must conform with the
long and short haul section OF the law, with
out attordiDg them reasonable time to do so,
might have subjected them to trouble and
loss.
If the commission finds, upon personal in
vestiga'ion, that no good cause exists for Civ
ing the Southern roads or any other roads,
the privilege of masking special through rates
to meet all water competition, it would COM
pei those roads to conform with the provis-
ions Of the long and short haul section.
AS regards other problems to be solved by
the commission, Judge Cooley could not ex-
press himself, as those questions had not yet
come up for consideration.

WILL RACE FOR 100000.
The Dauntless and the Winner OF the Ja-
bilee Race to try Their Speed.
New YORK, April l3.

NEW YORK, April IL.
A London dispatch to the World says
During a discussion at the Royal Thames
Yacht Club, last evening, Capt. Colt, owner
of the Dauntless was asked why he would
not enter his craft for the Jubilee race. He
replied that he did not think the cruise was a
fair one. Thereupon prominent member of
the club, who is an admirer of the Dauntless
said: 81 have thousand pounds to put up
that the Dauntess can beat the winner of the
Jubilee in a race around the Azores"
Can't. Colt remarked: 81 made the same
offer at the New York Yacht Club before
leaving and am willing to lay the amount
now."
The upshop is that Capt. Colt and the
above mentioned member of the Royal
Thames Yacht Club. will put $4,000 togeth-
er and lust before the Jubilee race is sailed
the Dauntless will issue challenge to the
winner for a race around the Azores for S20,-
900 sweep stakes, permission being granted
to others to come in at $4,000 apiece,
The Globe says: The recent defeats of
the English yachts in American waters and
the race between the Coronet and Dauntless
across the Atlantic have stirred the hearts of
British yachtsmen, and it is not unlikely
that we NAV see in the course of year
great effort to recover our lost laurels. 1t
il confessed that the Yankees have fairly
beaten US, though they have done 80 by copy
ing and improving upon the lines which were
shown to them as long ago as l84S, when Mr..
Moore launched the Mosquito on the Thames
and experienced the usual fate of innovators.
1t is only in the new country, apparently,
that new ideas are given chance or fair
trial, and as rule, the new country
gamer thereby.

NEBRASk A FIR ES.
The Flames Still Blazing with Unabated
Fierceness-Sixteen Persons Burned to
Death.

LINCOLN, Neb. April l3.
Along the branch line of the Burlington &
Missouri railroad, large number of settlers
have lost everything by the p1srie fires. The
railroad men say that Tor miles every loot of
ground is burned over. In Sheridan and
Cove countiss fires have also ragged fiercely,
ana in one settlement four lives were lost.
Report reached the telegraph station that in
the fire track not one house in three remains
unscathed Across the line in Nebraska,
Beaver Bottom has been on fire for three
days. A force of railroad graders, on a line
being built in southern Furnas county, were
surrounded in camp by the fire, and escape
was only made through the great efforts of
the men, leaving their tents, clothes and
everything behind to the mercy of the flames.
One man was so seriously burned that he
cannot recover. A private telegram to this
city from an official of the road in that vicin-
ity, estimates that at least dozen lives have
been lost in the two days fires. The rail
road officials here are very reticent as to the
damage incurred among homesteaders and
settlers in northwestern Kansas. The loss
must be very great.
MINNEAPOLIS, April l3.
Nearly all the business portion of Jones'
vile, Minn., was destroyed by fire last night.
Twenty-one buildings aro so far reported
burned with a total loss of S25, 900. Many of
the citizens lost everything and will need

DESTROY ED BY FIRE
Two len Perish in n Burning Chicago
Buildlng-The Owners Loss e225,OOO.

CHICAGO, H., April l3.
J. J. McGrath's wall paper house on Wa
bash Avenue was totally destroyed by fire,
this morning. The stock is an entire loss
and the building irreparably injured. The
fire was attended by at least two fatalities.
Pipeman Michael Burns was standing fourth
story window, when a sheet of fame came
out, enveloped him. and he fell into the blaz-
ing mass inside.
John Herberlie, fireman. was climbing a
ladder to the second story when it slipped,
and he fell to the sidewalk crushing his skull.
Capt. Frederick Reese's leg was broken by a
falling stone. The fire was out at about five
o'clock, and. owing to the exertions of the
firemen, very little. if any, damage was done
to the adjoining buildings, which are occu-
pied by wholesale iewelry and millinery
houses By careful estimate of the loss, it
is supposed to be about sl70, 900 or sl75, 900
in the stock, and $4,000 on the building.
The insurance is said to be small.
